NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Charles Gounod: Autobiographical Reminiscences With Family Letters And Notes On Music This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Composed in 1853-54 as a kind of 'musical vacation' from the operas he was busy with, Gouod's first symphony was given its official premiere in Paris at a concert of the Soci t des jeunes artistes on March 4, 1855 under the direction of Georges Paseldoup. The publisher Colombier issued score, parts and an arrangement for piano duet by the young Georges Bizet. This work might have served to inspire Bizet to try his own hand at the symphonic form as made the arrangement for piano duet shortly before starting his own Symphony in C major, which was forgotten for many years after Bizet's death.This newly engraved edition was made by Clark McAlister with some assistance from Nancy M. Bradburd, retired associate librarian of the Philadelphia Orchestra. First issued in 2006 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus, the edition is now exclusively available from Serenissima Music. This new study score is a reduced-format reissue of the large score.
